A great way to get a little extra out of your drive, and the stops along the way - The set up was easy, and the GPS was very handy. It remembered the Points that did it already told us about so there was no repeating anything. We found it useful as well as informative. The mapping was on point. The only thing I would add is a note coming in from the west side as we went up. We realized too late that there are two parking lots for General Sherman. You definitely want to take the lower parking lot if you can because it is a flat hike over to see the tree . Not knowing that, we went around to the upper one and hiked down to it. The hike back was a bit challenging for us, since we are over 60 years old, and not in the shape of our prime.

Glad we found this and will use it again. - I was considering paying $600 for my wife and I for a half-day tour of the park before I found this audio tour guide. It was easy to follow along. We used it for our 3-day stay at the park and covered all the sites included in the tour. Much appreciated.

Extreamly useful, difenatly worth the money - This app is wonderful and is easy to use. The audio tour explains a lot about the park its history and its sights, without it I would have probably missed a few amazing sights. I found the part where it gives you the distance you have to walk to get to a certain sight and hard of a trail you will be on, extremely useful

Great tour with excellent authentic stories and dialogue - The tour was great with really good insights, directions and stories. The very honest discussion of Native American forced relocation and violence by settlers and the US government was refreshing and relevant.
